Wynford’s Co-Presidents chose different paths on their way into the travel industry – Debi starting on the ground floor of Canada’s first tour company, and Bernie filling his backpack and touring the world. Yet in the process, each gained a unique perspective into the industry that has helped cement their partnership, and inspire Wynford’s unique corporate culture.

Debi is a firm believer in the transformative power of valuing your people. She is a champion of business excellence and unparalleled client service, while promoting a playful, positive, and balanced work environment. Debi’s unique superpower is her ability to see both the big picture and sweat the details at the same time. She visualizes events as perfect creations of content and captivation, then designs programs that bring talent and creative elements together to make the magic happen.

Bernie is all about the experience. Having travelled the world over, he knows firsthand the power of new encounters to reshape personal outlooks. He has also witnessed on countless occasions the transformative ability of shared experiences to build teams, enhance corporate cultures, and strengthen loyalty. Bernie has a formidable gift for matching clients with great ideas, and for pushing them a little out of their comfort zones towards happy discoveries, while ensuring both sides of the client-agency partnership are focused, connected, and having fun, all at the same time.
